Young Master Pig you here may see Upon his tender Mother's knee No longer he with patience sucks For See, he's cutting both his tusks.

[Illustration] Our Piggy next an Oxford fop With Cravat large and Brutus Top And when young Stag his coat has slipt on He'll strut away like any Skipton. [Illustration] For Hunting now he takes his Cue But other Game soon comes in View Miss Crane he spies! he feels the fire And falls in Love as into mire.
